Sažetak
At the University Hospital for Tumors, University Hospital Center Sestre milosrdnice about 700 breast cancers and about 150 benign changes of the breast are operated annually. After mammography and ultrasound, basic distinction between benign and malignant is achieved by fine needle (FNAC aspiration) under visual control of various radiological
methods, mainly ultrasound (US).
Importance of early cancer diagnosis and planned treatment action achieve the best outcomes. In order to bridge the time gap between different diagnostics and reduce psychological stress, we introduced the concept of one-day clinic into our outpatient practice. Service comprises triple diagnostic test when a lesion is suspected along with treatment plan according to the diagnosis in 8 hour time frame.
The service has been operating for the past two years and has had positive response from both staff and patients.
